@Lefttheleaf many thanks for all your help and encouragement. Meditation is going well. Will update more later. Best to you. I’m pleased to hear that. Remember to not expect anything from sitting in silence. It’s good for nothing and really is nothing special. The rewards come in our daily life and...

Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, your initial post said you experienced anxiety induced psychosis? Can you describe this experience? Just because like I said, I've been worried that that happened to me as well but I don't know if it was psychosis or just extreme anxiety I can’t say it would ...

Thank you! I'm so happy you replied, not alot of people are still active on here. I'm glad you are doing better, it sounds like the experience taught you a lot. Like I said I'm just under 6 months into this journey, it all started right when my daughter was born, I quit cold turkey after a series o...

Glad you are doing better! I read your story and it's EXACTLY what I've been going through. Started with an intrusive thought, "kill yourself", I panicked, and it was all down hill from there. Horrible intrusive thoughts about violent things involving my family and sh** that horrified me ...

@Head In Loud I'm right there with you, symptoms are still present every day but better than before. And one puff messed me up, if you look at my posts from 2018. I think it is different for everyone. @lefttheleaf sleep is bad for me, I get the same anxiety before during and after. Did mediation he...

I didn’t get it...you stopped for a year and then start back for 3-4 months and then stop for good? I’m asking bc smoking again even one puff will set recovery back months. I’m 27 months in and still suffering..I will try meditation..what type of meditation you do? Hi ‘I’m asking bc smoking again e...

Hey I had a lot of fatigue too and it lasted about a year more or less. It was mainly during the day and then at night I would struggle to sleep. How far into being clean from smoking are you and how heavy was your usage? What I experienced was very intense dreams and anxiety before during and after...

Thank you, just wanted to say I've been doing meditation for a few days and it is helping again. Averaging 15 minutes per day, plan on keeping it going, and up the time spent meditating. I still struggle with the anxiety and depression too, I had a bad wave of depression the other day but it only l...

Yes you are right. That should be enough incentive. PAWS is like PTSD and the anxiety flares up in triggering situations. I seem to have a revolving door of symptoms, right now its GI issues. I will be meditating the next few weeks and hopefully it changes. Also read that it shrinks your amygdala (...

I would like to do more meditation. For some reason it wont let me send a PM so I'll write you here. I am a little over 2 years and am struggling a bit again. I start meditation and then after a couple weeks I stop lol. I need incentive to keep going because when I do it I feel SO much better. Cong...

Hey people, Its been a while since I have checked in here but today I was thinking that perhaps my experience may help others so here I am back sharing. You can check out my previous posts if you are interested however to quickly recap... I smoked alot of weed daily (between 7-14g a day), for a long...

while i understand alot of folks here are on the focus of staying sober. but don't let that stop you from seeing the other's person point. Lefttheleaf's post Can help not only those fighting addiction and dependency but also others who want to improve their life. Which could be you AFTER you are do...

That’s cool man. I’m happy for you to disagree. The reason for me posting was to pass on some pointers that significantly helped me. I don’t know your story or who you are. And I don’t need to. We all have our own paths to walk. There’s a lot of anger and upset on this board in regard to the positio...

Vis meditation is awesome man really find it great Each to their own. But once you realise that YOU are the problem and that YOUR relationship with be that weed, alcohol, food etc is a symptom of a wider issue in your life you’ll realise more about yourself than anyone could on the internet could ev...

I notice I have triggers for my depression when it comes to PAWS and they've been bothering me today. I just posted that I deal with fuzzy vision. I also deal with fatigue and insomnia and the terrible anxiety even at work. I get depressed because I'll never go as far as I used to think and I've be...
